EdMar 10, 2004No one can touch this guy. He's leagues beyond anyone else working in music. Anyone. Unfortunately, like all great artists, he' all but ignored in the popular sphere. Give this one a listen. Bejar's a genius with talent. And then go back and find everything else in his catalogue.

CodyHAug 4, 2004Totally unbelievable. Dan Bejar is truly a genius. For him to create an album so beautiful and moving using such a cold inhuman sonic palette as the MIDI synth is breathtaking. My pick for best album of the year thus far.

DangerCartDec 5, 2004This album is just one of those things you hear when everything is terrific. If you don't absoultely love a good percentage of this album, you've failed as a music fan. There. I said it. I'd say it again if I had to.

BlenderDestroyer's slickest synthesis yet of ornate hooks and cryptic poetics. [Apr 2004, p.127]

It doesn't always work.... But when it does, in the blended tones and dark piano chords of "The Fox and the Hound", the result is magical and otherworldly.

Whilst Bejar's songs are blessed with mucho rhythm and melody, you should still be made aware that there's no real beat, no real bass, and little that sounds organic. Yet there's still something quite regal and symphonic about it all, the synthesized strings and horns and piano stirring up a romanticism that goes with Bejar's fancy-pants lyricism.
